Huh?? They're not going to lose money on rent. As long as the team turns a profit and can pay rent and their expenses, the U will be turning a profit.

If no minor league teams made a profit, they wouldn't exist. Doesn't mean they will succeed in Akron, but you can't just dismiss them as nothing.

Well, I think it starts with winning

Someone finally figured it out. MONSTER TRUCK SHOWS!!

whaaa?

Teams that can win in the tournament should and can chew up and spit out MAC teams. If we can build a team that wins in the tournament, we will surely beat the rest of the MAC as well. I think Thursday showed us that we're a little further from where we want to be than we thought, but I think we're still close. On one hand, we were (very) shorthanded. On the other hand, VCU is still a better team than us if we were at full strength. Bad matchup for us. We're getting there, just hope we keep making steps forward, and none backward.

Putting the Shaka connection aside.. Why the hell would we want to play VCU again? Was Thursday not enough for you guys?

Yep. Melo is actually a very good ball handler, but is no threat on offense. None whatsoever... Needs to develop something to keep defenses honest.

Thank you seniors! What a year. Feel so bad for Brian, probably the worst day of his life to be sick. Gotta be crushed. Thanks for a fun season.

Negativity is fine. Whoever it was that I quoted (not you) was just plain miserable. No need to come on here and throw yourself a pity party because you went to an NCAA Tournament game.

You're just miserable. Stay in Detroit, you belong.

I think it's forty minutes no matter what

The haiku thread is undefeated this year. I'm hijacking this thread for UA's good. VCU - time's up teacher's turn to go dancing boom shaka laka

Not often talked about - Tree has some great ball handling skills. I look for him to be the wild card against the havoc.

I'm not sure who else would even be in the conversation with us. With or without Q.

MTSU definitely had the in your face/pressure defense, but was it full court?

Wait who here said we have no chance? Besides akzipper

Beat them.

I was really hoping we'd draw OK State when I saw them pop up as a 5 seed.

Screwed? Or is it just a bad conference?

Me too, I like seeing Shaka win. Any mid major really, especially him. Not Thursday though lol

Feel bad for dambrot and shaka. Their defense is gonna cause problems with our PG situation.

Middle Tennessee is a good win.
